Overview

When a DID (phone number) is assigned to a sub-account, Vobiz enforces a 15-day cool-off period after the last call on that number. During the cool-off window, the DID cannot be unassigned from the sub-account and moved back to the parent pool. This protects against number-recycling abuse and ensures continuity for the sub-account’s customers.
DIDs that have never been used (no call history) are exempt from the cool-off and can be unassigned immediately.

Assign a DID to a sub-account

Move a number from the parent pool to a specific sub-account.
POST /api/v1/account/{parent_auth_id}/numbers/{e164}/assign-subaccount
X-Auth-ID: {parent_auth_id}
X-Auth-Token: {parent_auth_token}
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "sub_account_id": "SA_xxxxxxxx"
}
Response (200/204) - the number is now assigned to the sub-account.

Unassign a DID (cool-off enforced)

Move a number back from a sub-account to the parent pool.
DELETE /api/v1/account/{parent_auth_id}/numbers/{e164}/assign-subaccount
X-Auth-ID: {parent_auth_id}
X-Auth-Token: {parent_auth_token}
Success (200/204) - the number has been returned to the parent pool.

Cool-off error

If the DID had a call within the last 15 days, the request returns 409:
409 Conflict

  "error": "did_cool_off_in_effect",
  "cool_off_until": "2025-06-09T14:23:00Z",
